Good. We need some dominance around here, seems a lot of the people in relationships on this board are pretty docile.

Woman can't appreciate German idealism. The German idealists speak of this.

True, which makes it even better if the guy who is claiming to lecture his wife on the topic is in fact doing it. Poor gal is being asked of her what is womanly impossible. They a priori can’t conceptualise a priori judgments.

Very funny post. I’d personally put her in her place and make her realise her pretentiousness is unwarranted by schooling her on a thing or two, perhaps how the synthetic unity of apperception may as well be the thing-in-itself to a woman because their minds aren’t able to truly know “who” “they” “are”. Yes, even if I must endure childish insults (I’m sure you very well know the kind I’m speaking of) that denote her dissatisfaction with my performance during the “interview”. And I’d mosey on… to my next prospective employer and repeat this process. It’s a lonely road but one yours truly travels so that you, and the male population don’t have to.

He’ll learn I’m sure. Just let him parrot common consensus on /lit/ for now.

You’re forgetting Pride and Prejudice, and Wuthering Heights. They’re great, but they are the only classics women tend to enjoy.

/lit/ has a habbit of getting mad at women for being women, they're women, they do what women do.
at some point you get over this and just make fun of them for it, instead of getting annoyed.

Anna Karenina is mainly (if you actually read the book and not just watched the various movies) an autobiography of Tolstoy’s quest to become Orthodox Christian and metaphysical quandaries he was grappling with via the character of Levin with Anna/ Vronsky as a B story intended to show what not to do with your life which he negatively contrasts with himself and his Christian living.

Right away I was like iiiiccckkkk icky icky yuck and told him I wasn’t gonna be able to make it and I ghosted him afterwards lol
